This B&Q Energise to Release Electromagnet is designed for secure and automated locking mechanisms, ideal for applications requiring controlled magnetic engagement. Its primary benefit is its reliable electromagnetic hold, though users must provide their own 24V DC power source. Key features include a robust nickel-plated cylinder, a 10kg maximum pull force, and an M6 threaded mounting hole, making it suitable for industrial, security, and medical equipment.

The electromagnet operates at 24V DC and consumes 11W of power.
No, the power source is not included and must be purchased separately. It requires a 24V DC supply.
The electromagnet has a maximum possible pull force rating of up to 10kg.
It is supplied with an M6 threaded hole on the reverse for fixing and mounting.
An 'energise to release' electromagnet holds its position by default (often using an internal permanent magnet) and releases when electricity is applied. An 'energise to hold' electromagnet requires electricity to create its magnetic field and hold an object; it releases when power is removed.
The bright nickel-plated cylinder offers some corrosion resistance, but it is best suited for indoor or protected environments. Prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions is not recommended.
Ferromagnetic materials like iron or steel are recommended for the keeper plate to ensure optimal magnetic attraction.
Ensure a stable 24V DC power supply is connected and functioning correctly. Check that the electromagnet's face and the keeper plate are clean, flat, and in full contact. Verify that the pull force requirement does not exceed the 10kg maximum.
Confirm the power supply is correctly connected and delivering 24V DC. Check the wiring for any breaks or loose connections. Ensure there is no physical obstruction preventing the release mechanism.
Clean the electromagnet face and the keeper plate thoroughly. Ensure the keeper plate is made of a suitable ferromagnetic material and is flat. Check the gap between the electromagnet and the keeper plate when not engaged; a smaller gap increases force. Verify the power supply voltage is stable at 24V DC.
Setup:
To set up the electromagnet, first ensure a stable 24V DC power source is available. Connect the power source to the electromagnet's terminals. The M6 threaded hole on the reverse should be used with appropriate hardware (bolt, screw) to securely mount the electromagnet to your desired surface or mechanism. Ensure the moving part (keeper plate) it will attract is properly aligned and can make full contact with the electromagnet's face for maximum pull force.
Compatibility:
This electromagnet operates on 24V DC and consumes 11W of power. It is compatible with any stable 24V DC power supply that can provide sufficient amperage. It is designed to work with a metallic keeper plate or surface for optimal magnetic attraction. The bright nickel-plated finish is suitable for most indoor environments; avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
Care:
Keep the face of the electromagnet and the keeper plate clean and free from dust, debris, or oil to ensure optimal performance. A soft, dry cloth is usually sufficient for cleaning. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the electromagnet is completely dry before reapplying power. Regularly inspect the mounting and wiring for any signs of wear or damage.
